Hi,
yep, in the end macros are exactly what your were looking for. They are
designed to let people create quick ways to access features they use a lot
(a nice css display for a floating box for instance). They leverage XWiki's
scripting ability and make them available to end-users to perform simple
tasks easily. I thought about it but your own reply was faster than mine ;-)

BTW, I'd be interested to know how you found about XWiki and what are your
impressions about it (besides its user guide... :-)

Thanks for your feedback,

Guillaume
